if someone (hey boss) knows how repost the pics blown up large. looking at the black block I think it may have some stamping below the "71" casting date also

Very cool! Thanks for posting them.

Knowing whg we learned about the 1970 Ram Air Super Duty and the 303 that was derived from it, piggybacking on Tom’s thoughts, I wonder if these were ran as 303s by someone in the early-70s SCCA Trans-Am circuit. Maybe the TG team after Titus’ death?

Out of curiosity, what’s the casting number on thr No.1 main cap? I can’t quite make it out.

thanks for blowing them up fullsize.

if you can, please blow up the first pics I posted at the first of this thread to compare them to this one. I notice the blue engine has a 2 stamped over the ds number and another 2 off to the side of it. who knows what that was about.

Great pictures Gary!

If you ever have a garage sale, let me know early so I can get a flight.
(I think the airport will be booked solid.)
